Martini Netherlands released this entertaining film, featuring some pretty people having their ‘Martini Moments’. Interesting is the fact that it is a web only film, which is still pretty unique in Holland. When distributed right, such film can set the emotion around your brand, which can be very valuable. Hope to see more..
Music is by Dutch singer Caro Emerald.

Pt 2 of Birds Vs Humans this afternoon. I was delivered a locked wooden box which had a tag on the front that asked me to revisit the website. Once I did that I was given a code to unlock the box. Inside was a stack of fresh apples and a cooler filled with ice and bottles of the new cider 5 Seeds. The facebook page also had further content uploaded revealing the creative idea behind all the hype. Cool hype campaign and looks like the production values are huge! The agency is Holler.

Remember when automotive CEOs went to Washington DC asking for loans? This website called “Shocking Barack” from Brammo powercycles seeks to redo the same route but instead of asking for aid, they will try to show President Obama a proposal based on electric energy as a feasible solution to the transportation crisis. So this site is to follow the trip (starting tomorrow) and asking people to spread the word and collaborate if possible with a place to stay or to charge the vehicles, go check it out or follow them on Twitter.

I liked this one by Tribal DDB London for the new Volkswagen Polo, what does it take to be considered timeless? Assuming that the car has been built under that idea, the site VW Timeless Polo collects different options from worlds such as fashion, food, design, music and television for people to choose what do they consider the 50 of them that will become as timeless as the car, so it’s a good way to rediscover lots of time and history.
